Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packaging carton for products, particularly foodstuffs such as pastry.
  • Packaging cartons conventionally used by suppliers, in particular butchers, bakers and candy makers, are generally of cardboard cut to shape, folded and glued. These conventional boxes permit production of the product which has been chosen by the purchaser from a shelf or a cabinet and then placed in packaging, which can easily be decorated by printing and personalized with the name of the supplier.
  • Such a carton which enjoys the sense of tradition and quality of the supplier, is not usable in industry and the distribution of foodstuffs because of its cost for production and filling. It suffers moreover from the major drawback of not permitting the foodstuff it contains to be seen.
  • packaging cartons entirely of transparent or translucent material, which permits total and direct vision of the contained product.
  • cartons constituted of a single piece of thermoformed plastic material.
  • a first portion of this piece has a hollow compartment or base for the reception of the product and the second portion serves as the cover.
  • This second portion being hinged on the first to close it by bending the plastic material between the two parts with if desired a snap closure between the cover and the base.
  • these packagings are practically limited to labels applied to the transparent box or printed sheets at least partially obstructing the sight of the contents.
  • the invention proposes a new type of packaging carton comprising two separate elements which, before making up the box itself, have a small thickness permitting storage with reduced size by nesting, easy separation by unnesting and of which at least one of the elements can serve as a support for information.
  • the invention has for its object a carton of the type comprising a base surrounded by a peripheral wall and a cover articulated on this peripheral wall and adapted to be closed and opened, said peripheral wall comprising a crown, the cover and the base comprising two surfaces each articulated on a connecting member so as to form a triptych, characterized in that said surfaces comprise abutment members against the internal and/or external periphery of the respective edge of said crown, means to maintain in closed position the carton being integrated with the triptych and/or with the crown or being applied after closure of the carton.
  • a carton comprising a base surrounded by a peripheral wall and a cover articulated on this peripheral wall and adapted to be opened and closed, the cover and the base comprising two surfaces each articulated on a connection member so as to form a triptych.
  • a peripheral strip surrounds an edge of the bottom bent and retracted, so as to maintain the assembly thus folded.
  • This peripheral strip has for its only purpose to retain the bent periphery of the bottom in a complicated construction of carbon, requiring moreover an assembly by stapling or the like.
  • the lateral strip does not coact with abutment members of the cover and of the base, but only with the peripheral wall that it totally covers.
  • the abutments against which the internal or external periphery of the respective edge of the crown come into contact are preferably formed by continuous and/or discontinuous projections and/or points directed inwardly of the crown from the surfaces of the triptych.
  • the triptych thus produced has a small thickness and is stored by stacking in a reduced storage volume and can be easily extracted from the stack thus formed.
  • the crown can be secured on the connection member by any known means and can preferably be bent so as not to impede stacking.
  • the product is loaded on one of the surfaces of the triptych constituting the bottom, then the crown is emplaced on said surface and the other surfaces of the triptych are bent into position, which is to say that the connection member extends transversely to the crown and the second surface of the triptych extends parallel to the first surface on which the product rests, the abutment members of said second surface coming to rest against the periphery of the upper edge of the crown, said crown thus ensuring sufficient resistance to compression.
  • the crown has a tubular shape, its lower end resting against the first surface of the triptych constituting the base of the carton and its upper end receiving the second surface constituting the cover.
  • said crown can be cylindrical, in particular a cylinder of revolution, truncated conical, truncated pyramidal or of any shape.
  • the edges of the crown can then be in planes which are parallel or not.
  • Said crown can also have at least one edge of any shape such as crenelated or wavy for decorative and/or ventilating purposes.
  • the crown can be continuous but open, if desired with partial overlapping.
  • the crown can be discontinuous facing at least one portion of the connection member.
  • the crown is made of cardboard or plastic material and can serve as a support for information and/or any decorative motifs.
  • Said crown can moreover comprise at least one recess which can then be partially or completely closed by a transparent or translucent film.
  • the closure of the recess of the crown can be carried out by the connecting member resting against said U-shaped member and which comprises an embossment coacting with said recess.
  • At least one of the surfaces constituting the triptych can comprise at least a prolongation of the end and/or at least a lateral flap.
  • Said end prolongation or lateral flap can then comprise an embossment which coacts with a corresponding recess of the crown.
  • the coaction of the embossments with the respective opening can be carried out from outside or from inside the corresponding surface of the triptych.
  • the two surfaces and the connection member forming the triptych and, if desired, the end prolongations and/or the lateral flaps are made from a single piece, preferably of transparent plastic material.
  • the piece is then made by thermoforming and is easily stored in reduced volume by nesting thanks to the fact that the thermoforming implies clearances for the protruding portions.
  • the closure means of said carton can be added and can be of any known type such as adhesive strips, elastic, ribbons or staples.
  • integrated closure means of a known type such as lugs coacting with holes, tongues suitable for corresponding slots, etc.
  • integral closure means the latter can be carried by the two surfaces and/or on the end flaps and/or on tongues.
  • Another closure means can consist of points, lines or preglued surfaces on the triptych and/or the crown.
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a carton according to an embodiment of the invention
  • FIGS. 2 to 5 show schematically in fragmentary cross section various shapes for coaction of the crown with the abutments of the two surfaces of the triptych;
  • FIG. 6 shows a schematic plan view of a triptych according to a second embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 7 shows a schematic view in perspective of a crown usable with the triptych of FIG. 6;
  • FIG. 8 shows schematically a modification of a discontinuous projection of the triptych
  • FIGS. 9 to 15 show schematically, in exploded perspective, various embodiments of a carton according to the invention.
  • the latter is constituted by a triptych 1 and a U-shaped member 2.
  • the triptych 1 is constituted of a substantially rectangular piece of plastic material comprised by two surfaces 3 and 4 hinged on a connection member 5.
  • the surface 3 constitutes the bottom of the carton whilst the surface 4 forms the cover.
  • each of these surfaces 3 and 4 of the triptych are formed ribs or projections 6 and 7 respectively, which, projecting from the opposite surface of said surfaces 3 and 4, constitute abutment members against the periphery of the respective edges of the crown 2.
  • the ribs 6 and 7 are formed continuously so as to come into abutment against the periphery of the crown 2 in a continuous manner. It is also possible to provide point form or discontinuous abutments (FIG. 8). Any combination of projections which will be described is feasible.
  • the crown 2 is discontinuous, its surface facing the connection member 5 being omitted. Such omission can be only partial, with one or two end folds of the crown 2 facing the corresponding edge or edges of the connection member.
  • the crown 2 can be open, for example at one corner or even comprise a covered region.
  • the crown is tubular, which is to say continuous and closed, as is the case for example of the crown shown in FIGS. 7 and 9-15.
  • At least one of the lateral surfaces of the carton, beyond the surface including the connection member 5, is constituted exclusively by a portion of the crown 2.
  • connection member 5 and the edges 5' formed by said member 5, permit increasing the resistance to compression of the carton thus obtained.
  • the ribs 6 and 7 form reinforcing beams for the carton which, because of their abutment against the edges of the crown 2, constitute a self-blocking system of high rigidity and compression both vertically and transversely. it In the case of the embodiments shown schematically in FIGS. 2, 3, 4, and 9-15, the rib 6 or 7 is an abutment against the internal periphery of the crown 2. Moreover, in the case of FIG. 3, a flange 6a on the bottom 3 and a flange 7a on the cover 4 form external abutments for the crown 2. In the case of FIG.
  • the flanges 6b and 7b are prolonged substantially to the height of the respective rib 6, 7.
  • the abutments are formed by flanges 6c and 7c of the bottom 3 and of the cover 4 respectively and act on only the external periphery of the crown 2. Any combination of these abutment means can also be adopted.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show an embodiment of the carton according to the invention in which the crown 2 (FIG. 7) comprises a rectangular recess 21 on each of its lateral walls and the bottom 3 comprises an end flap 31 and two lateral flaps 32 and 33 whilst the cover 4 has an end flap 41.
  • Each of these flaps 31, 32 and 33 comprises an embossment adapted to engage in one of the recesses 21 of the crown 2.
  • the crown 2 comprising a rectangular recess 21 on each of its walls, is emplaced on the bottom 3, its periphery of the internal edge being in abutment against the rib 6 of the bottom 3.
  • the connecting member 5 provided with an embossment corresponding to a recess 21 in the crown 2, is bent such that said embossment comes into engagement in the corresponding recess 21 of the crown 2 whilst the embossments of the side flaps 32 and 33 and of the end flap 31 engage in corresponding recesses 21 of the crown 2.
  • the cover 4 is then lowered onto the periphery of the upper edge of the crown 2 and the end flap 41, provided also with an embossment, is lowered onto the end flap 31 of the bottom 3, the embossment of the flap 41 being received in the embossment of the flap 31.
  • the flap 31 comprises snap-in holes 34 in which engage complementary lugs 42 provided on the flap 41 so as to close the box thus constituted.
  • closure means are carried by tongues prolonging the bottom and/or the cover, or else formed directly on the bottom and the cover.
  • triptych and/or the crown comprise points and/or surfaces and/or preglued lines which permit or facilitate setting up and closing of the carton.
  • connection member 5 can have any shape and dimensions. It can for example be formed by a narrow rectangular, trapezoidal strip with straight or curved lateral edges.
  • the crown 2 can be of any material such as cardboard or plastic material.
  • the crown 2 can have any shape, for example cylindrical, of square cross section in the illustrated examples, or else as a cylinder of revolution, truncated conical, truncated pyramidal, etc.
  • edges of the crown 2 adapted to coact with the projections 6, 7, 6a, 7a, 6b, 7b and/or 6c, 7c can be in planes which are parallel or not. At least one of the edges can be out of a plane and have any shape, for example crenelated or wavy.
  • the bottom 3 and/or the cover 4 end generally in the vicinity of the exterior of the crown 2. They can however be prolonged beyond the crown 2, in particular to facilitate gripping the cover 4. It can also be envisaged that the crown 2 will be completely inscribed within the interior of a triptych of different shape, for example with a crown which is a cylinder of revolution and a parallelepipedal triptych.
  • the flaps 51 and 61 prolonging respectively the surfaces 3 and 4 are not covered after closure and comprise gripping means, such as tongues 52 and 62 respectively, coacting respectively with complementary members such as slots 52' and 62' formed in the crown 2.
  • the carton is analogous to that of FIGS. 6 and 7, except that the side flaps 32 and 33 have been omitted and the interlocking means of the end flaps 31 and 41 are of the tongue and slot type.
  • FIG. 11 an embodiment of the invention in which all the external surface of the carton is formed, as in the case of FIGS. 6 and 7, by the triptych 3, 4, 5 and the flaps.
  • the surface 4 of the triptych instead of the bottom surface 3, comprises two lateral flaps 71 and 72 whilst the surface of the bottom 3 is prolonged by an end flap 73 provided with lateral tongues 74.
  • the tongues 74 comprise a locking means, such as a tongue 75 coacting with complementary means, such as a slot 76 of the adjacent lateral flap 71 and 72.
  • the lateral flaps 71 and 72 comprise, in one corner, an oblique tongue 100 which, after setting up the assembly, will be disposed below the corresponding corner 101 of a recess 21 of the crown 2, thereby reinforcing the locking obtained by the embossments.
  • the side flaps 71 and 72 of the surface 4 are provided with end tongues 77 provided with tongues 78 for locking in the slots 79 of the connection member 5, other end tongues 80 of the lateral flaps 71 and 72 being provided with tongues 81 coacting with the slots 82 of the end flap 73 of the surface 3 of the bottom.
  • FIG. 14 shows a modification of FIG. 11 in which the tongues 74, the tongues 75 and the slots 76 have been omitted, locking being ensured by oblique tongues 102, analogous to the oblique tongues 100 of FIG. 11, also present in this case.
  • the oblique tongues 102 coact with a corner 103 of the window recess 21 in the crown 2. It will be noted moreover that the end flap 73 is prolonged by tab 104 sliding below the front edge of the surface 4 and permitting closing the flap 73 before locking.
  • the end flap 41 of the surface 4 which has a height corresponding to that of the crown 2, is provided at its two free corners with oblique tongues 105, analogous to the tongues 100 of FIG. 11 and 102 of FIG. 14, which coact respectively with the lower corners 106 of the corresponding recess 21 in the crown 2.
  • FIGS. 14 and 15 offer the advantage that, when the carton is assembled, the securement means are entirely invisible.
